The Original Ringtone

Prompted by our visit to yesteryear with the Notificator, I started browsing last night through some of the other images on Modern Mechanix.

How about the very first ringtone dating back to the 1950’s?

And the first video phone from 1956, which became about as popular as person-to-person video calls are today.

In case you thought that Vertu was a new idea.

And my favourite - the original way of putting the other party on speaker phone

Maybe Apple could use this idea as a cool way for kids to share music - so much sexier than sharing an earbud each.
